TRANSMITTER
The transmitter (Tx) requires 4 “AA” batteries.
Non-rechargeable alkaline or rechargeable nickel-
cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells
can be used. Do not mix old and new cells, or mix
non-rechargeable alkaline cells with rechargeable
NiCd or NiMH cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND
ACCESSORIES section at the end of this manual
for optional rechargeable NiCd and NiMH batteries
and chargers. Note the TTX300 transmitter does
not include a charge jack for rechargeable cells. A
separate “AA” cell charger will be necessary.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate an R/C model with weak batteries as
it could result in reduced range and/or possible loss of control!

Press the power switch to turn the Tx on (see figure 2). The “POWER” LED
should illuminate. If not, turn off the Tx and check the batteries to make sure
each cell is firmly in place and in the proper direction. If the Tx LED blinks, the
batteries are low on power and should be replaced.
BIND THE RECEIVER TO THE TRANSMITTER
For proper installation and operation of the 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver
system, it is necessary to “bind” them together electronically. This ensures
sole communication between the two and prevents other transmitters from
being able to control the receiver. To bind the Tx and Rx:
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Apply power to the receiver (see the INSTALLATION section that follows
for how to do this).

3
3. If the receiver’s LED flashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already
bound to the Tx and you can skip to the next section. Otherwise, push
and hold the receiver’s “BIND” button until its LED glows red and then
turns off after about one second.
4. Release the bind button.
5. If the binding is successful, the LED will flash once and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality by completing the next section. If it
doesn’t seem the radio has bound properly, repeat steps 1-6 above.
INSTALLATION
Receiver: Mount the receiver as specified in your model’s instructions. As a
guideline, mount in a secure location using double-sided tape. Route the servo
wires so they do not interfere with any moving parts. For boat applications,
it’s highly recommended to wrap the receiver in a balloon or enclose it in a
water-tight box.

Servos: See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section at the end of this
manual for a full list of optional servos. CENTER THE TRIM DIALS on the Tx.
Mount the servos inside the model and connect the linkages to the servo using
an appropriate length servo arm. Make sure all mechanical linkages are free
of obstructions and can move smoothly. Connect the servos to the receiver as
shown in Figure 3. Turn the transmitter’s trim dials to finely adjust the servo’s
center point as needed to match the installation.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC): If using an electronic speed control,
connect it to channel 2 of the receiver (throttle). Center the transmitter’s
throttle trim and follow the ESC instructions for programming.

PROGRAMMING
Several of the TTX300 features are adjusted electronically by entering the
programming mode. To enter the programming mode, follow these steps:
1. With the transmitter turned off, turn steering wheel full right, pull the trigger
to the full throttle position and turn the transmitter’s power switch to ON. The
LED will flash to confirm when performed correctly.
2. Release the wheel and trigger at this time.
End Point Adjustments
Steering:
1. Enter programming mode.
2. LEFT EPA: Turn wheel FULL
COUNTERCLOCKWISE, use 3rd
channel push buttons to adjust.
3. RIGHT EPA: Turn wheel FULL
CLOCKWISE, use 3rd channel
push buttons to adjust.
Throttle:
1. Enter programming mode.
2. THROTTLE EPA: Pull trigger to the
FULL THROTTLE position, use 3rd
channel push buttons to adjust.
3. BRAKE EPA: Push trigger to the
FULL BRAKE position, use 3rd
channel push buttons to adjust.
Channel 3:
The TTX300 3rd channel is programmable and offers a wide variety of options
to suit many applications. Selecting the number of positions and end point
adjustments are performed at the same time. To change the function and set
end point adjustments for CH3, follow these steps:
REVERSE: Press and hold the bottom push button and power ON
transmitter. The LED will flash one time. After 3 seconds, the LED will flash
two times when performed correctly. Release the bottom push button.
MULTI-POSITION: The TTX300 3rd channel can be programmed to
function as 2 position, 3 position, 4 position or proportional control switch.
Selecting each position and end points for each position are performed
simultaneously. The default position of CH3 is 2 position. To change the
function of CH3, follow these steps:
1. Enter programming mode: Press and hold the top push button, power
ON transmitter. Continue to hold until the LED flashes five times.
Release the top push button.
2. Use CH3 push buttons to adjust CH3
accessory/servo to desired 1st position.
Turn steering wheel clockwise (right) to
confirm position 1. The LED will flash
one time to confirm position 1 has been
saved. Note: Press and holding CH3
push buttons will adjust rapidly. Press
and release will finely adjust positions.
First use
CH3 buttons
to set. Then turn wheel
clockwise
to confirm.

5
Moving the steering wheel during adjustment of CH3 will save the position.
Do not move steering wheel unless position is ready to be saved.
3. Use CH3 push buttons to adjust CH3 accessory/servo to desired 2nd
position. Turn steering wheel clockwise (right) to confirm position 2.
The LED will flash two times to confirm position 2 has been saved. If
programming for two position switch, skip to step 6. Otherwise, proceed
to step 5 to program 3rd or 4th position.
4. If programming as 3 or 4 position switch, follow the procedures in
steps 2 and 3 and select additional positions (3 and/or 4). Turn steering
wheel clockwise (right) to confirm each individual position. The LED will
flash in relation to the position that is being saved. Three flashes is 3rd
position, 4 flashes is 4th position. Proceed to step 6 when programming
as 3 or 4 position switch has been completed.
5. To program CH3 as proportional, enter programming mode and select
desired position 1 as listed in Step 1 above. Use CH3 push buttons to
adjust to desired end point and turn steering wheel clockwise four times.
The LED will flash five times to confirm the position has been saved.
6. After programming of CH3 is completed, turn off transmitter to save
settings.
SYSTEM CHECK
Turn on the Tx, then the Rx. Make sure all servos operate according to the
movement of the Tx controls (refer to figure 4).
Steering: Turn the steering wheel
left and right. Make sure there are
no obstructions with the steering
servo’s movements, and the servo
moves in the proper direction.
If the steering wheel is turned
to the right but the model turns
left, reverse the position of the
Steering Reversing switch.
Steering Rate: This dial adjusts the limits that the steering servo can travel
on each side. Turning the dial will widen or narrow the steering end points.
Adjusting this dial to your preference can help to customize control of steering
in different applications.
Throttle: Squeeze the throttle trigger to make the car move forward. If the
car moves backwards, reverse the position of the Throttle Reversing switch.
(See the model’s instruction manual for specific set-up instructions.) Push the
trigger forward for reverse or brake function.
Failsafe: This radio system includes a “fail-safe” function, which will

automatically center (bring to neutral) all servos if the receiver loses signal
communications from the transmitter. When the receiver regains signal it will
automatically resume normal function.
Range Check: The “range” or safe operating distance from the Tx to the Rx is
typically as far as you can clearly see the model. Before operating the model,
perform a simple range check to make sure the transmitter maintains good
radio contact with the receiver within your operating area.
SYSTEM CHECK
● NEVER allow water or moisture to make contact with the
electronic components inside the transmitter, receiver,
servos, switch harness, etc.! This could lead to failure or
improper functionality of components and poor control of
vehicle which could pose a safety hazard.
● NEVER operate R/C equipment if you are physically impaired as it could
pose a safety hazard to yourself or others in the area.
● NEVER allow small children to operate/control model R/C equipment
without the supervision of an adult.
● NEVER allow the transmitter’s throttle trigger to accidentally be moved
away from the neutral position while the vehicle is powered up.
● ALWAYS range check the radio system before use.
● ALWAYS make sure that all transmitter movements operate all servos
properly in the model.
● Do not store your radio equipment in extremely hot or cold locations, in
direct sunlight, or in locations with high humidity. Store R/C equipment in
a cool and dry location.
● Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with any parts of the radio
system. Substances such as glow fuel, gasoline, CA glue, etc. could
permanently damage plastic parts of the radio system.
● If rechargeable batteries were installed in the transmitter, remove the
batteries before placing the radio in long-term storage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
RANGE IS SHORT: Interference – check Rx installation and servo connections.
Low Tx or Rx battery – replace the batteries or recharge if applicable. Crash
damage – send the radio to Hobby Services for repair.
RUNTIME IS SHORT: LowTx or Rx batteries – replace the batteries.Obstructed
servo linkages causing excess battery drain – free the linkages/pushrods.

7
Tx POWER SWITCH ON BUT SERVOS DO NOT FUNCTION: Tx or Rx
batteries are low or – replace the batteries or check Tx or Rx battery polarity.
Switch harness or ESC is connected incorrectly – check all connections and
the ESC instruction manual. Rx is not binded to the Tx properly – perform
binding process again. Rx antenna located too closely to engine, motor,
servos or other moving mechanical parts which might be creating unwanted
electrical noise – relocate the Rx inside the model or relocate the ESC.
INTERFERENCE OR SERVOS GLITCHING:
Out of range – operate the
model more closely to the transmitter. Outside radio interference (pagers,
strong industrial or other commercial transmitters in the area) – check your local
R/C club for confirmation of dangerous/interfering frequencies in your area.
CONTROL SURFACE MOVES IN THE WRONG DIRECTION: Change the
position of that channel’s reversing switch.
ONLY ONE SERVO GLITCHES: Servo is bad – replace the servo or send to
Hobby Services for repair.
